"What I like most in Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise is the comparison between two different exhibitions which gives value to my company. I also like that the solution is user-friendly, especially in terms of making specific changes. For example, in the past, you can't see the changes when you upload scripts into the Performance Center, but now, it has that visibility, so whenever you want, you can change the script in the Performance Center. I also like that Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise is the only tool you can utilize for all your needs, even for different protocols and scripting. The solution also has the latest features, for example, networkability, where it can, within the UI, follow the waterfall model. You can use the insights in the Performance Center of Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise to address or test URLs that usually take up much time."
"We can book load generators."
"It's a very powerful tool."
"Our main use case for the product was load and stress testing. It helped us put the system under stress by injecting in multiple users, such as 5,000 users."
"It is mostly user-friendly and usable."
"LoadRunner Enterprise's most valuable features are load simulation and creating correlation for parameters."
"What we call the LoadRunner analysis is the most useful aspect of the solution."
"SmartBear LoadNinja is easy to use and implement."
"It's a very simple tool for performance testing."
"We are happy with the technical support."
"Lacks the option of carrying out transaction comparisons."
"We are expecting more flexible to use Jenkins in continuous integration going forward."
"On the newer versions, I think the bleeding edge is still being worked on."
"Sometimes, the code is not generated when we record the scripts in the backend."
"The price of this solution could be less expensive. However, this category of solutions is expensive."
"The TruClient protocol works well but it takes a lot of memory to run those tests, which is something that can be improved."
"I think better or more integration with some of the monitoring tools that we're considering."
"It would be beneficial if LoadRunner could optimize resource usage, especially for protocols that require significant resources, like TrueClient, which interacts directly with the UI. If they could improve resource usage, like ingest or for the load generator, using less CPU or RAM memory, that would be great. That's where I have problems."
"It needs time to mature."
"On a smaller scale, there will be no budget issues, but as we expand to a larger user base, I believe we will face some pricing challenges."
"As we ran the test, we couldn't see the real-time results of how the solution behaved for 200 to 400 virtual users."
